Preparation is the key m8. Although this is the easy part. The hard part will come when trying to match the colour of the panels. Old bikes obviously have faded paintwork so you gotta be carefull when doing a small panal. This applies more when applying laquer on top coz if you aint carefull you'll end up with one really shiney panel and the rest faded.
If it was me I would only apply a couple of coates of laquer, then rubbing compound and then a good t-cut (or similar). Leave at least 2 days before t-cutting!!! Laquer may seem to dry quickly, but it takes a couple of days to fully cure. |

...and the V-machine has FINALLY finished reconstructing/painting G's mashed-up-excuse-for-a-fairing tonight... so me is happy!
...well...until he crashes again that is!
And on the "help or tips" subject....
Well, chunkielad summed it all pretty well i think.
...Although i just have to add, that i have never sanded the area again after doing the priming coat. So i'm unsure to exactly how much a difference that makes to anything. But i am no expert.
Surely if the primer is sprayed on evenly (without drips etc), is there a need to sand it again?
The 'colour' paint should adhere to the primer pretty well as it is anyway.
But hey! As i said, i'm no expert.
